Sounds normal! I enjoyed my pregnancy with my daughter much more then when I was pregnant with my son! I just stayed positive and knew I would miss it once it's gone!

Totally normal. Welcome to the first trimester. Things will definitely get better once you hit the second trimester and you're body is a little more adjusted. Just stay positive, relax, keep a journal and just remember it gets better!!

I hate being pregnant now & did with my son. I am not my usual happy self, I'm whinney, want to lay in bed alone all day (but I don't) & feel like shit 24/7. Talk to your doctor. you can take anti depressents while pregnant. I don't feel like I need meds yet, but I may. There's no shame in that.

I was a miserable mess during both my pregnancies. I was a crazy emotional mess and I was in pain! My back always killed me I was always exhausted but could never nap because I had a toddler to take care of with my second.

My first pregnancy was horrible. I had nightmares, I was stealing dealing with being raped, and then being pregnant because of that, I had horrible morning sickness, I developed hyperemesis and pre-eclampsia, I was just miserable and nothing made it better or easier or made me happy to be pregnant. I had no friends, I was condemed by our new town and almost everyone in it, and I was homeschooled for that school year, so changing from being very active in school, with lots of friends, to be a pregnant teenager with no one but my brother and parents. My other pregnancies were much better, much easier, and much more enjoyable.

I was fine for the most part with both my pregnancies. Only thing I had a problem with with my first was pain. I was very uncomfortable. She was 9lbs so my stomach grew alot quickly. My second was okay. Didn't really have any problems at all. I just didn't like going to the doctor every 2weeks since I was high risk. But I think it all depends on the person. It's very normal. HAve you tried meditation?

Wow that's hard! How are things now!? I could relate on having no frens.. All I have is my 59 year old mom💜and 35 year old (older) brother. We don't have much in common and hardly speak! I moved out to a new town in April. I miss my girl frens and bb dd isn't involved!

I had lots of trouble the second time around. So I justified spoiling myself. I forgave myself for everything like eating an ice cream bar everyday. Paying for it now but it helped I had torn ligaments everywhere the father cheated and walked out. I failed in school because of all the pressure plus a toddler..the list went on and on sadly. Just take it easy mama if you need help now is the time to rally your forces. (HUGS)

That sounds normal to me. Some women have a harder time during pregnancy and it makes it less enjoyable. Just try and remember that you are almost done. Even though you may be kinda miserable now, you will miss it once it's over! :)
